Bio

Co-founder. In 2022, Zo and Gabe co-founded Ameelio, a tech nonprofit that builds education and communication products for prisons. While scaling Ameelio, they stumbled upon the issue of unemployment post-incarceration which Emerge seeks to address. Zo holds a Masters degree in Criminology from the University of Cambridge, and a JD-MBA from Yale Law School and Yale School of Management.
